I was just reading that the roof limit on the prado is 100kg. So what happens if you put a roof top tent on? the tent probably weighs 30-40kg + the weight of the roof rack say 30kg+ the weight of two people say 150kg, thats well over the rated roof limit! any one had any drama's with this much weight on the roof structure :?:

Re: roof top tents
the 100kg limit is for a vehicle doing 100km/h, its a force thing, stationary if you put a rooftop tent and a rack up therem you r probably looking at 60kg. plus 2 adults sleeping up there it will be up to 200kg or more depending on the phsyical size of the adults, just a thought, i have the h/d toyota roof bars x3 but its still limited to 100kg, you will find most gutterless vehicles r close to this load limithad an 03 gx 120 with some gear now got a 2013 bt 50 GT auto some ARB gear.

Re: roof top tents
the load limit of 100kg is for a moving vehicle. Its perfectly fine to sleep afew adults in the rooftop, just dont do it whilst moving, cause it would be over the load limit. ( and unsafe if you fell out :lol: )2000 Toyota Prado GXL- Gone, but not forgotten...

(1) don't sleep on the roof while the car is moving :shock: ; or
(2) don't move too much while sleeping on the car :wink: .
Either way, it made me laugh. :lol: :lol: :lol:[B][SIZE=4]ntp
